Y/n and Jake moved away from the rest of the squad.

"Hey, we never really got a chance to say hi" said Jake.

"Yeah. Hi" said y/n, smiling at Jake.

"Hi" said Jake.

Y/n and Jake went in for a kiss, but got distracted by Charles.

"Oh, my God, everyone, Jake and y/n are going to kiss for the first time in six months" said Charles. "Let those Nicholas Sparks fly."

"So, everyone's just going to watch us?" said Jake.

"Yes! Now get to it, you lovebirds" said Charles.

Y/n and Jake moved closer towards each other, but just as they were about to kiss, Charles popped up right next to them.

"Here we go" said Charles.

Y/n and Jake broke apart.

"Come on, Charles" said y/n, in an exasperated tone.

"How did you get there so fast?" asked Jake.

"Love finds a way" said Charles.

"Ugh" said y/n, walking away.

--------------------------------

"Welcome to the Fun Zone" said Jake. "I know the manager, and he's agreed to shut the place down for the day, so there won't be any civilians around."

"Smart" said Terry. "You put up all these fake signs about a major health code violation."

"No, those are actually always there. Something about lead being in the air and water and ground" said Jake.

"How is this place still open?" asked y/n.

"Honestly, I have no idea. It is a health hazard" said Jake. "Anyways, you all have your assignments. Let's plan an ambush. Nine-Nine!"

"Nine-Nine!" said everyone enthusiastically.

"Chills, you guys. Literally, chills" said Jake.

----------------------------

Y/n pushed an arcade game up against one of the doors.

"Good call. Blocking the door. Keep it up smorty-pants" said Jake, walking towards y/n and trying to high-five her.

"Oh - " said y/n as she avoided the high five.

"Uh - " said Jake, and awkwardly kissed y/n on the forehead. "One of our classic forehead smooches, just like I planned."

Y/n laughed quietly. "This is weird."

"Should we have sex?" said Jake at the same time.

"What?" asked y/n.

"Huh?" said Jake.

"Yeah, I mean no" said y/n.

"No, things aren't weird, or no to the sex?" asked Jake.

"Maybe we should just - " said y/n.

"You're right" said Jake. "Just concentrate on Figgis and we'll figure this out later."

"I mean, I was going to say that maybe we should talk, but yes, we should definitely wait until we've got Figgis" said y/n. "We have the rest of our lives to talk."

"Yeah, unless he kills us first" said Jake.

They both awkwardly laughed.

"What a weird joke" said Jake. "Regret sayin' that one. Wow, things are clickin'."

"I'm gonna go make sure Hitchcock and Scully aren't messing things up" said y/n.

"Yup" said Jake. "That's important as well. What is wrong with me?"

-------------------------------

"All right, everybody ready?" asked Jake. "Good. Let's set this trap."

Jake got his phone out of his pocket, and dialled Jimmy Figgis' number.

"Hello" said Figgis.

"Hello, Figgis" said Jake.

"Peralta" said Figgis. "Congratulations on escaping prison."

"Thank you. Congrats on sucking" said Jake, walking towards where the squad was playing arcade games.

"You know, I'm bored. I'd love to kill you tonight" said Figgis. "So where are you hiding?"

"Wouldn't you like to know?" said Jake, making sure that Figgis could hear the sound of the video games. "You're never gonna find me. I'm invisible."

"Mommy, I won! I won a big pwize!" said Rosa in a child-like voice.

"I'm everywhere, and I'm nowhere. And I'm coming for you. Peace out, loser" said Jake.

"He's at the Fun Zone" said Figgis, turning to his accomplices. "Gear up."

"This ends tonight" said Jake, holding up a basketball. He threw the basketball behind him.

The basketball bounced off the wall and hit y/n in the face.

"Ow!" said y/n, holding her hand up to where the ball hit her.

"Oh, sorry, babe" said Jake.

"What were you aiming for?" said y/n, frowning.

------------------------------

Jake walked over to where y/n was standing.

"Got you a bag of Blue Rad-Berry slushie for the swelling" said Jake, giving y/n the slushie. "I would've just gotten ice, but a possum died in the ice machine."

"Really?" said y/n. "This place is a health hazard."

"Yeah" said Jake. 

"Why do we keep hurting each other?" asked y/n.

"I don't know" said Jake. "Maybe I'm overthinking it. It just feels like we're not - "

"On the same page" said y/n at the same time Jake said "Clicking."

"That was basically the same thing. I count that" said Jake.

"Yeah" said y/n.

"Look, I know this isn't the right time for some big talk, but I just - " Jake grabbed hold of y/n's hand. " - want us to be normal again." 

"Yeah, me too" said y/n.

"I hope you're a better kisser than Holt" said Jake, moving closer to y/n.

"What?" asked y/n, a shocked expression on her face.

"Why did I say that?" asked Jake.

"Why did you kiss Holt?" asked y/n.

"I didn't. I did. We did it to get out of jail, but it didn't mean anything. Just forget I said anything, right? Rewind" said Jake, making a rewinding sound. "And kiss."

"Jake - " said y/n.

"You want to know if there was tongue. I can tell you, decidedly, there was not" said Jake.

"No, Jake. Figgis is here. Look!" said y/n, pointing out to the parking lot where several cars were.

"Well, good talk, don't die. Holt had very soft lips. Wish I hadn't said that one either. We should get into positions" said Jake.

"Yeah, okay" said y/n, going to her position.

"Hey, kill the lights! Figgis is here!" shouted Jake, and he ran to his position as the lights turned off.
